Sand, Sun & Fun – Steps to Beach w/ Fire Pit & Games!

Welcome to Calm Shores, a beautifully designed three-story cottage just steps from Port Elgin’s stunning Main Beach. Whether you’re seeking a peaceful retreat, a fun-filled getaway, or quality time with loved ones, this brand-new home offers the perfect setting. With breathtaking lake views, a private backyard with a fire pit, and a game room for endless entertainment, this charming space invites you to relax, recharge, and create unforgettable memories. Thoughtfully decorated across 2,000 square feet, Calm Shores combines cozy elegance with modern amenities, making it ideal for families, friends, and couples alike.

Step inside to a bright, welcoming main floor featuring a cozy family room with an HD Smart TV and Netflix, a fully equipped kitchen, and a convenient half-bathroom. A laundry room with a washer and dryer ensures you can pack light and stay comfortable. Outside, the fully fenced private backyard is perfect for summer evenings—fire up the gas BBQ, enjoy a meal on the outdoor patio, or gather around the fire pit for marshmallow roasting and storytelling under the stars.

On the second floor, a spacious game room and lounge area await, complete with an air hockey table, books, and board games for hours of entertainment. Step out onto the upper deck and enjoy your morning coffee or evening drinks, conveniently stored in the mini bar fridge. This floor also features one comfortable bedroom, a full bathroom, and an additional half bath.

The third floor is designed for relaxation, offering three beautifully furnished bedrooms with plush, dream-worthy beds and spacious closets. You'll also find two full bathrooms and two private balconies, perfect for stargazing or sipping coffee as the sun rises over the lake. With plenty of space for everyone, this home is designed for comfort, fun, and making the most of your time by the water.

Guests will have full access to the home, except for one locked basement storage room. The cottage is family-friendly, but please note that stairs and balconies are not childproofed. We provide bed linens, kitchen towels, hand towels, bathmats, dish soap, hand soap, dishwasher detergent, laundry detergent, toilet paper, paper towels, and tissue boxes. However, please remember to bring your own bath and beach towels, along with any personal toiletries.

To ensure a safe and enjoyable stay, we kindly ask that guests remove shoes indoors, respect quiet hours between 11 PM and 7 AM, and adhere to our no pets, no smoking, and no fireworks policy. The fire pit must be used responsibly and supervised at all times. To comply with local regulations, all guests must be registered, and extra guests will incur an additional charge. We have a Ring doorbell camera at the entrance, which is used only to welcome guests and is not actively recording during your stay.

With its unbeatable location, just a short walk from both the beach and downtown, Calm Shores offers the best of both worlds. Whether you spend your days exploring the scenic shores, enjoying a lakeside sunset from your private balcony, or playing board games with family, this is the perfect place to unwind and make lasting memories. We look forward to hosting you at Calm Shores—your home away from home in Port Elgin!

Cleanliness

This property is in a great location, close to beach and walking trails. It is well appointed and nicely decorated. The state of cleanliness was disappointing. The owner was very apologetic and was attentive to make sure we were comfortable. We would stay at this property again.

Great location!

Port Elgin beach is wonderful and close by. The beach and restaurants uptown were easily walkable and pleasant. The food was very good everywhere. The kids loved the waves at Sauble Beach and the amazing bike trails, the most . The house itself is a strange and awkward design but served our purposes. One complaint I have is the lack of towels and sheets for all the beds. My opinion is that for this price those things should be included, as no one wants to haul that around on vacation especially for a large group of people.

About the host

Hosted by Parm

Host profile image
We're Toronto locals who love exploring small towns on weekends. Our passion for DIY is reflected in this property - we hope you'll love it too!

Why they chose this property

My wife and I are two small-town souls who've found ourselves caught up in the hustle and bustle of big city life. It wasn't until we started having kids that we began to realize how much we missed the sense of community and belonging we felt growing up.

We searched high and low for a place where our family could feel rooted and connected once again, and stumbled upon a hidden gem that stole our hearts away.

From the moment we set foot in this charming neighborhood, we were struck by the calmness and serenity that enveloped us. The thought of our children being able to ride their bikes and play without the constant hum of cars was music to our ears.

We knew right then and there that we had found our slice of heaven on earth, and we hope that you'll feel the same way too.

What makes this property unique

Prepare to be enchanted by the one-of-a-kind features that make our vacation home truly exceptional. From the LED-lit maple leaf stairs that greet you upon arrival, to the numerous balconies that offer some lake views and a serene spot for coffee and stargazing, every detail has been carefully crafted to delight your senses. The open-concept layout seamlessly blends two floors into a warm and inviting space for everyone to enjoy. Our second-floor game room and spacious first-floor living area provide ample opportunities for quality time with loved ones. Meanwhile, the third floor offers a peaceful sanctuary for those in search of solitude. Don't miss the chance to gather around the fire pit for s'mores and storytelling, or explore the many attractions and friendly community nearby. Come discover a vacation home like no other, where comfort, convenience, and charm meet in perfect harmony.
